Pet Stores in Akron, OH

This store location doesn’t take care of there fish or the aquariums they live in. Fish are very unhealthy! 😞

We live very near PIFFP so we were delighted to have a place so convenient to put our dog when traveling. The place is clean enough on the inside but for the price it should be. They have a concrete slab out back surrounded with fencing for the dogs to have “outside” time in. That sounds great except over time we found that they would put dogs out there early every morning and leave them out for as much as an hour regardless of the weather. Stifling hot, freezing cold, it doesn’t seem to matter. We know this because the dogs bark incessantly to come back in but to no avail. The enclosure acts like an echo chamber only heightening the dog’s obvious discomfort and frustration. We mentioned our concerns but the owner dismisses the urgent barking as “playful vocalizations” but at best that’s nothing more than deluded wishful thinking on her part. Such disregard for the comfort and health of a loved pet is unacceptable. Regardless the convenience we will never take our dog there again.

After spending thousands of dollars, bad cash registar experience, can't camplain when your dogs ears are one short and the other long , they set up wrong appointments and tell you after you bring in the dogs, because they will hold it against you. Don't miss a appointments for the manger Jason will condemn you. Taking my dogs there for two and half years and the manager told me they don't want my dogs or business. I own my own business and would never treat a customer so degrading and uncalled treatment.

Long story short, i was interested in a rescue bearded dragon, told the employees as long as he DID NOT HAVE AN INFECTION, i would buy him. They told me it was just dry skin, 25 days later, he died. It was not dry skin, it was an incurable yellow fungus INFECTION. I had to meet with the owner (Jaime) of the store to try and get a refund. I showed him my receipt, and right off the bat he raised his voice at me and told me he cant do anything. He told me i had a week for returns, not a month. My receipt says 30 days. The employees said 30 days multiple times. They also said he didnt have an infection. I told him the situation, he blatantly ignored everything i said and continued to raise his voice at me and glaring at me until i left. Without a doubt the most unprofessional, disrespectful and arrogant business owner i have ever met. My girlfriend also went in to talk to him and he also yelled at her and her father while the owner was holding his toddler. Very overpriced as well.

Bad news. Down Hill. Had not been to this store since it relocated. Knowing that a small local fish store does not income a lot of money I forgave that the parking lot was a giant mud hole and the outside of the building looked crappy, I know its the inside that counts. But inside was not looking much better. Selection of both Fresh and salt water fish was very limited, and some of the freshwater fish in multiple tanks looked sickly and malnourished. I also noticed the freshwater tanks had undergravel filters with powerheads but no areators. Aside from that the entire place was filthy. The floor, all equipment, food, and aquariums for sale were covered in all kinds of nasty funk. Im not sure if he cleans up the place in the summer when he sets up ponds and more people are around but it was not looking good while I was there. I had only been to there previous location a couple of times in the past and the selection and over all quality of the store was worth a visit at that time. Since then things have gone downhill and I wont be going back again. Seems like Two Turtles is the only locally owned fish shop around worth going to these days. Just found out today that Wet pets Plus in North Canton closed its doors in September, that used to be my favorite shop but I heard it also went downhill before it closed up. Guess Ill have to start buying rare fish online like everyone else is these days cause theres nowhere to buy them.

So helpful and friendly. They have everything I need and answers to all my questions. Very healthy fish which shows how much they care!

I tried a few of the big box pet stores, but never had any luck. The prices were high and the employees weren't that knowledgeable.If you go to Seacave, you should talk to Steve. He has years of experience in the business and can make anything into an aquarium.

Saw this store's website and took a trip down to Akron. It was well worth the trip, clean store with nice fish and supplies.

The store is very clean. His prices are very reasonable. I only paid 15 dollars for HUGE pajama cardinals.
